Proponents of "shamnesty" have surrendered to the Third World invasion,
but the truth is that there is a solution.

One
frailty of man is that he is very adept at finding excuses to justify
laziness and irresponsibility. There's no point helping people because
everyone is just out for himself anyway. Why study or work? I mean,
no one is going to give me a break. I won't take care of myself because
you've got to die of something. We can't deport 12- 20 million illegal
aliens.

I
could point out that the word "can't" never used to be in the American
vocabulary. I could mention that members of the "can't" set find it
entirely possible to tax 100 million people and then transfer the
money in hand-outs 80 million others. Some of them even aspire to
control the health care of 300 million Americans through government.
Why, their ambitions just seem to grow with the size of the big government
scheme.

There
are two truths here. First, if ancient Egyptians could build the pyramids,
if ancient Chinese constructed the Great Wall, we can deport any number
of invaders and keep them out.

The
second truth is that we don't have to.

The
answer is - and these ideas aren't original, as Michael Savage has
espoused them as well - we can get illegal aliens to deport themselves.
All we need understand is that man operates based on incentive, on
reward and consequence, and devise policy accordingly. I now propose
a foolproof five-point plan that would put an end to the invasion
of America.

1.
Enact laws ensuring that employers who hire illegals will be punished
harshly enough to deter the behavior; this will take the illegals'
jobs away.

2.
Enact laws prohibiting illegals from receiving any government benefits.

3.
Eliminate the standard that confers citizenship on children born to
illegals on our soil.

These
three measures alone will eliminate the incentive to be here, causing
most to return to where they belong. But this is just the removal
of the carrot; now we need application of the stick.

4.
Enact a law stating that any alien caught on our soil beyond a certain
date will be subject to severe criminal penalties.

5.
Enact a law stating that, in addition, if they are found in the US
after that time, they will forevermore be prohibited from entering
our nation.

Understand
that these measures will so greatly reduce the number of illegals
(my guess is by 90%) that taking legal action against the lawbreakers
who remain will simply be a matter of eliminating a few stragglers.

The
beauty of this plan is that it eliminates another excuse: "We'll never
stop illegals from coming here anyway." Once America has been transformed
from a big carrot into a big stick, they'll stop picking on our vegetable.
Border enforcement would still be necessary, but only for the purposes
of keeping true miscreants out, people such as terrorists and criminal
gangs.

Speaking
of vegetables, on Monday I saw Senator Saxby Chambliss rendering another
immigration excuse. What's a Saxby Chambliss, you ask? It's an illegal
alien enabler who was recently trying to mollify some indignant true
Americans by waxing fictional. Why, by golly, if we send these people
packing, we won't have anyone to pick our produce, opined he. This
will make us dependent on foreign imports, as we are with oil. Got
that, stupid?

Well,
I've got news for you, the Sax is playing us.

As
I've said before, there are no jobs Americans won't do, there are
only wages Americans won't work for. The law of supply and demand
informs that flooding an economic system with great numbers of low-wage
workers causes their value to decrease. If you purge the system of
them, however, businesses won't go belly-up for want of labor. They
will simply offer what the remaining, more valuable workers are now
worth. I call that a healthy, natural, free market way of spreading
the wealth around.

But
this is only half the equation. Usually overlooked is that the agricultural
industry need be wedded to manual labor no more than the automobile
industry must, and this is demonstrated by the many countries that
have introduced mechanized harvesting systems which in some measure
take the place of human hands. Moreover, robotic systems serving this
end have been developed as well, and, although, they're not perfect,
with time and incentive greater sophistication will be achieved.

The
bottom line is that the last thing that should worry the country with
San Francisco and Greenwich Village is a possible inability to produce
fruits and nuts. When the cost of labor exceeds that of mechanization,
we'll go the latter route.

A
Chinese proverb states, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice,
shame on me." In 1965, Ted Kennedy and his enablers sold us a culture-rending
immigration reform act. When lobbying for the bill, Kennedy said that
America wouldn't be flooded with a million immigrants a year and the
demographic composition of the country would not change. Both those
assertions proved untrue. In 1986, Ted Kennedy and others promised
that if we would just grant amnesty to the 3.4 million invaders on
our soil, the borders would be secured and illegal immigration halted.
This proved untrue.

Now
they sing the same old song. Just be compassionate and reasonable,
my fellow Americans, and grant amnesty to the 12-20 million invaders
colonizing us, and, you guessed it, we'll secure the borders and get
our house in order.

I
don't know, would you buy a used immigration idea from these men?
What do the Chinese say about being fooled a third time?

The
immigration bill before the Senate, SB-1348, is a sham. The three
million invaders in 1986 have become 12-20 million today and, if we
repeat the mistakes of the past, will metastasize into perhaps forty
million next time. Of course, by then our sense of national identity
will be so eroded that we may not even call them illegal anymore.
Why would we in Mexico North?

The
plan we must pursue has been laid out in this piece. Politicians who
won't embrace it aren't looking for solutions, only excuses. And excuses
walk.
